Chislehurst's clay soil creates notorious drainage headaches for homeowners between Bromley and Sidcup. Properties built on the slopes towards Mottingham often discover water pooling against walls during winter months. Modern drainage systems transform soggy lawns and flooded driveways into properly managed landscapes that channel excess water safely away.
Installing permeable paving alongside French drains tackles both surface runoff and groundwater issues simultaneously. Calculating the correct pipe gradients ensures water flows efficiently toward connection points without creating sediment traps. Strategic placement of catch basins prevents overwhelming existing sewers while protecting your property's structural integrity during BR7's wettest periods.
